Antique Hand-Crafted Pond Yacht
Antique Hand-Crafted Pond Yacht
We estimate that this classic pond yacht was crafted in the 1930s to 1940s. Pond yachting became a very popular activity in the 1800s with hand-made boats following the shape & lines of full-sized vessels of the time and were beautifully designed to make good sail.
This vessel would make a dramatic focal point in one's home. It is sizable at appx 48"H (with stand) x 48" L x 12" at its widest. Given its impressive size - this is a pickup only treasure. In impressive shape for its age - it does have some blemishes and a few missing accents and is best served by seeing in person.
As the Victorian era came to an end the sport, which prior had been advanced by the wealthy, became popular with working classes.
Clubs were established to provide racing classes and worked to standardize the hull length, displacement and sail area. Municipal yacht ponds sprung up everywhere and become popular around the world
